What you'll need: purple eyeshadow, bright lipstick and some glitter.

Throw your hair in some messy top knots, shade your eyebrows in purple (or any bright color of your choice), reverse your eyeshadow routine and apply glitter underneath your lower lash line, and don't forget the bright lipstick to match your eyebrows. Wear all black or some metallic clothes you may have laying around, and you'll be turned into an extraterrestrial being before you know it.

2. Lion

What you'll need: fur vest or coat, gold creme eyeshadow, a contour and highlight palette.

All you blonde babes got this one in the bag. Let your hair go wild as you embrace your inner lioness - curl it, twirl it, do what you gotta do to make sure that mane is untamed. Every girl loves a contour and heres your chance to really intensify that noose and those cheek bones. Give yourself a cat eyeliner wing, draw some cat detail on your nose and upper lip, make sure that highlight is on fleek, add some gold lipstick and go buck wild with your eye makeup. Throw on your fur vest/coat over some nude clothes and you are good to go.

3. Hippy

What you'll need: wide legged pants, and a whole lot of accessories.

Grab your flare jeans and free people top or your maxi dress and gather all the accessories that you own. Give your hair some tousled beach waves, and wear a headband across your forehead or that hat you own but have never worn. Voila, you are now a hippy.

4. Pop Art Character

What you'll need: some bright colored eyeshadows, white and black eyeliner sticks.

It can't get any easier, yet cuter, than this. All you need to do is add some white dots to your face, and add lines to accentuate your actual laugh lines, cheek bones and any other creases you may have from expressions on your face. Color in your eyebrows with a black brow pencil, have some fun with your eyeshadow, and line those lips.

5. Wednesday Addams

What you'll need: black long sleeve LBD, a white button down, a pair of black thigh high socks and dark lipstick.

Part your hair in the middle, add some piggy tail braids, give yourself a smokey eye and put on black lipstick. Wear a white button down underneath your black long sleeve LBD and call it a day.

6. Dia de Los Muertos

What you'll need: face paint and a flower crown.

Halloween is truly a day of the dead, so this look just makes sense. You'll need to paint your face as a sugar skull with the colors of your choosing, add a flower to your hair, and wear a lacy LBD or corset to achieve this last minute look.

7. SnapChat Filter

What you'll need: contour palette, highlighter, and a bronze based eyeshadow palette.

Sad that glow you get from the butterfly snapchat filter has been taken away from you? Well don't fret, we're bringing it back for you. Start by doing your everyday makeup routine, glammed up a few notches. If the lioness costume wasn't a good enough excuse to really take your contour game to the next level, here's another chance. Make sure that contour and highlight game is strong, give yourself a golden smoked out eye, and get some glittery butterfly clips from your local craft store. Now you don't even need that filter to make you look as good as it did, you can do it on your own.
